Thursday Scores: Ice Dance

Music has the power to haunt the soul. With the right tone and vocal accompaniment, this feeling can be achieved with evoking effect. One such composer is masterful at this, which is why his music brings a lasting quality to the films that he writes music for, in my opinion.

Ice Dance: by Danny Elfman
From the film: Edward Scissorhands

Doesn't that thrust you right into a wonderland feeling? Even the music sounds like it's at night, with snow falling, and someone is looking around in awe at the sight of it - which is precisely what happens in the scene this music plays with. And this week, I'm tagging Alexandra Lanc to this track, since she has this amazing presence that calmly enters any blog she visits - haunting, even.

I think you nailed me on all sides, David. This is by my favorite composer, from one of my favorite films, by one of my favorite directors, and it reminds me of one of the series that I am writing, featuring Christmas, winter, and snow. Great pick, certainly! And thank you for the mention. :)

Sorry I haven't been by as much lately. I've been sick, and in preps for the Midnight release next friday, and I haven't had time to breathe, let alone check blogs. I've missed it.
